Responding to multiple arguments in the thread. 1) The majority of participants in the SPF group never intended to transition to the SPF record. It was only ever proposed to get the spec past IETF last call over objections from DNSEXT. I can't see anything has changed since. The DNSEXT participants did not exactly help their cause by telling everyone that the Microsoft DNS server supported unknown record types long after Microsoft had denied that it did and showed the source code to prove that the server could not save or read unknown record types. 2) The issues involved in SPF, DKIM and DANE are different. DANE has a dependency on DNSSEC and thus a requirement for new RR type support, DKIM and SPF do not. DKIM did not require wildcard records (for signing mail at least) and so use of prefix records was practical. SPF required wildcard support because of its function and required that it did not have a DNSSEC dependency. 3) +1 to Paul Hoffman on the not answering the question point. DNSSEC would have deployed ten years ago with the ATLAS rollout had this WG accepted one simple change to the specification for the sake of deployment. Not that the fault is entirely in the WG, the chair and the AD bear most of the blame as did the IESG for allowing an AD in one area to chair a WG in another. 4) SPF existed and had a significant deployed base before the WG was started. The most that the WG could have done was to have persuaded some users of SPF to use the new record instead of TXT. Ending use of the TXT record was never an achievable goal and that is the only outcome that would have had any value. But anyway, what is done is done. If people think that there is a value to TXT record like things and that the new RR mechanism works then why not address the problem of SPF polluting the TXT namespace (which I never liked) by creating a new TXT record or so?
